Waimangu Volcanic Valley - January 21st 2012

Emerald Pool in Echo Crater

Frying Pan Lake, the worlds largest hot water springs, water temp at 55 degrees C

Hot Water Stream leading from Frying Pan Lake

Hot Water Stream, Can you tell it stinks

Brianna can feel the heat from the Springs through her flip flops, The trees here that do grow, grow in soil about 30 degrees C at about 1/2 a meter down

This is Inferno Crater, It matches Brianna's shirt. Quite honestly the most beautiful colour of water, but at a acidic level of pH 2.1

This is a guyser. It just happens under the water. This crater is more shaped like a trumpet

Iodine pools, connected to the Silica white terraces, similar to those destroyed in Mt. Tarawera Eruption near the Burried Village

White Silica Terraces

Green slimmy hot silica terrace

Yet another terrace
